Grammar Breakdown

Provaloognimese

1

Imperative with enclitic pronoun

‘Provalo’ is the second‑person singular imperative of ‘provare’ (to try) with the direct‑object pronoun ‘lo’ attached, forming ‘prove‑lo’ → ‘provalo’.

2

‘ogni’ as a distributive adjective

‘ogni’ means ‘every’ and is placed before a singular noun (mese) to express a repeated frequency.

3

Noun ‘mese’ (month)

‘mese’ is a masculine singular noun; the plural ‘mesi’ would change the meaning to ‘months’ and does not fit the time‑frequency construction.

Try it every month.

Buona idea, così non mi perdo le novità.

Good idea, that way I won’t miss the new stuff.

B

Common Mistakes

  • Provare ogni mese.

    Missing the direct‑object pronoun; the imperative must be ‘Provalo’ when referring to ‘it’.

  • Provalo ogni mesi.

    The frequency expression uses the singular ‘mese’, not the plural ‘mesi’.

  • Provalo ogni mese!

    Adding an exclamation is fine for strong enthusiasm, but in written instructional material a period is more neutral.

Alternatives

  • Usalo ogni mese.

    Use it every month.

  • Provalo mensilmente.

    Try it monthly.

  • Dagli una possibilità ogni mese.

    Give it a chance every month.

Cultural Tip

In Italy, monthly subscriptions for coffee, magazines, streaming services, and even language‑learning apps are very common. Saying ‘Provalo ogni mese’ sounds natural in informal settings; in a formal context you might replace the imperative with ‘La provi ogni mese’ (using the formal ‘Lei’).
